How it works
Trust, built into every sale.
Hart Vintage is built for people who care about serial numbers, neck dates, and originality — with the polish of a premium app, not a flea-market feed. Here is what stands behind every instrument on the floor.
Authenticated before it lists
Every instrument is reviewed by specialists — serial numbers, pot codes, neck dates, finishes, and originality — and given a clear condition grade. Nothing reaches the floor unverified.
Provenance, laid bare
Ownership history, repairs, refrets, refinishes, and documentation are presented as a clean timeline. You see exactly what an instrument has lived through before you commit.
Buy or bid with confidence
Make an offer or bid in a timed auction. Proxy bidding and anti-sniping keep lots fair — a late bid extends the clock — alongside a public Q&A thread with the seller.
Escrow protects the money
Funds are held in escrow until you confirm the instrument arrived as described. Shipping is insured and tracked end to end. Sellers are paid automatically on confirmation.
What you get
